Instead of looking at a successful co-worker as an adversary, look to him or her as a very available mentor who you can hit up for advice. Asking for pointers accomplishes two things: You learn some of the tips and tricks that are pushing your colleague ahead -- and you give this person a nice little ego boost that will probably make him or her like you more. So, for example, instead of getting jealous when your co-worker's praised for his impeccable presentation skills yet again, walk on over to his desk and ask for a few pointers for how you can do the same. All of a sudden you've gone from enemies to collaborators.

This is an excellent tip because it serves both a practical purpose and an emotional one. You learn to reframe negative feelings into something positive, plus you expand your network and may even learn a few solid career tips in the process.
